    Where do atheists come from?

    Everybody stands to benefit from wider and more systematic research of the atheistic or non-religious. The believers may take heart from the fact that the most comprehensive studies no longer suggest the unreligious are cleverer or more lettered than them. But the non-believers might also comfort themselves that they are no longer outside the mainstream. They have become a "normal" and significant part of many societies. And researchers ignore them at their peril.

    Personally speaking I came from the vagina or so I'm lead to believe. Simply examining the facts did the rest

    Anyway, as usual the most interesting content is in the comments.

    My catholic mother informed me that I was found under a head of cabbage.
    So it must be true?

    In some cases that explanation would answer so many questions.

    Do you think reality is defined by those who believe it or that there are those who simply accept reality for what it is?

    And in some cases a turnip might be more appropriate.

    I came with a return ticket to where I came from.
    We all did.
    But there are those who think they are going somewhere else. Impossible destinations.

    Only on earth do we experience Heaven and Hell.

    63 year old Sandra, a relative of mine died of cancer last Sunday, she had taken care of her husband-my younger brother Seamus, her four children, grandchildren, the elderly and infirm, as a carer, and her 91 year old mother!

    During Sandra's last days God was never mentioned by any of her relatives, Christians all.

    Sandra was a Julie Walters type character, as in the film, "EducatinG Rita", starring Michael Caine.
    She has left a lot of people devastated!
    Myself included.

    Don't you mean you came from the womb via the vagina?

    I came via the fire exit (c-section).
